Apr 13 07:05:26 lxmaier	Famsco Update
Apr 13 07:05:34 lxmaier	Famsco has met on Monday
Apr 13 07:06:00 *	RajeshPandey (n=rajespan@202.52.242.123) has joined #fedora-mktg
Apr 13 07:06:01 lxmaier	We have appointed Max Spevack treasurer
Apr 13 07:06:36 lxmaier	he will be the person in charge of paying the reimbursement to the ambassadors
Apr 13 07:07:26 lxmaier	we have also decided that for each action item there will be one person responsible for it, such as events, or other initiatives
Apr 13 07:07:53 lxmaier	 that means:    - making sure the local ambassadors who are responsible are doing what they are supposed to do    - making sure our process is being followed    - making sure they get their money from whoever in famsco pays it on time    - having the authority to pull the plug if everything is going downhill
Apr 13 07:08:18 lxmaier	you can see more detail on this at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Meetings/2006-04-10

Apr 13 07:09:28 lxmaier	i am preparing an overview of Ambassadors budget and spending on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget
Apr 13 07:09:34 lxmaier	EOF
Apr 13 07:09:37 lxmaier	> puneet_batura
Apr 13 07:09:40 puneet_batura	Since we all are contributing to this hence i feel submitting all the reciepts and all that will take much of our time so any thoughts to that?
Apr 13 07:10:01 lxmaier	puneet_batura: money is like that, unfortunately
Apr 13 07:10:14 puneet_batura	i think..
Apr 13 07:10:19 lxmaier	it is more fun to spend it than to account for it
Apr 13 07:10:33 lxmaier	but because we have our budget, we need to be accountable for it
Apr 13 07:10:34 puneet_batura	There will always be dissatisfaction between the money reimbursed and the money spend hence will flood the lists with these pointless dicussions.
Apr 13 07:10:54 puneet_batura	i fully understand that...
Apr 13 07:11:05 lxmaier	puneet_batura: nobody should spend ANY money before they get an okay from famsco
Apr 13 07:11:31 puneet_batura	i know but wont this thing require long time..
Apr 13 07:12:17 lxmaier	i can only repeat--money is like that.
Apr 13 07:12:21 puneet_batura	i mean the practical feasibiliy is more important... :-)
